Ed&Kim
21:00 - 22:30 Circus Brussel
15 years ago this duo started to abuse the decks with a very electic taste in music. They play different genres and styles, but you know when Ed&Kim hit the decks.
They were the first to introduce nu-skool breakbeat in Belgium. In their sets they mix this sound with other dancegenres like electro, house, acid, dubstep, d&b, uk funky, new wave, disco, rock, baile funk, rave, techno, ... everything goes! They never stick to one sound an always suprise you with a forgotten classic now&then. Only three words rule their musical taste: originality, attitude and quality.
Their bodyslammin’ dj-style conquered festivals, events and clubs in Belgium and the Netherlands such as Pukkelpop, Tomorrowland, Beach Rock, Dour, I Love Techno, City Parade, Groovecity, Body To Body, 10 Days Off, Fuse, Culture Club, Café Capital, Decadance, H20, Petrol, Silo, Café D’Anvers,...Residencies at clubs like Culture Club, Club Geluk and Fill Collins gave them more experience in working and pleasing crowds. Later on residencies followed at parties or clubs like Culture Club (Ghent), Eazy Fuck (Café D’Anvers/Silo), Klank (Charleroi), Cocadisco (Sint-Truiden), At The Villa Vintage (H20/Pecq) and their own Breakdown (Ritz Building/Hasselt) & Smile (Silo) parties.
They already played 6 times at Pukkelpop & 10 Days Off!
Ten years ago they released a mixcd on the mighty R&S label called Straight From Vinyl 2’!! The first Straight From Vinyl was mixed by Mo&Benoeli, better known as The Glimmers these days. Benoeli asked them to make the second one...Ed&Kim's Straight From Vinyl mixed genre's like triphop, leftfield jazz-house, broken beats, electro and breakbeats. With tracks by Nightmares On Wax, Chicken Lips, Erot, Jesper Dählback, Matthew B and Ils.
For 11 years going they abuse the radio-airwaves on Studio Brussel. First they did a radioshow called Superfly with all funky, jazzy&soulful dancemusic. Then the danceshow Switch came! From the start they we're the hosts for the first 2 hours of the show: all popular dance-music (from electro to house to techno to breakbeats and everything in between). 5 years later they had their own breakbeat-show, once a month.
In 2004 Kim also started working as the assistent of producer Jan Van Biesen, bringing in new ideas for the show and doing the production and coördination of Switch. Ed&Kim are Switch residents for 11 years now!
At the moment Ed&Kim are residents at the Cocadisco-parties/Sint-Truiden, Temposphere/Leuven & their own Breakdown parties at Ritz Building/Hasselt.
Since 2004 the succesful Breakdown parties at Muziek-o-Droom/Hasselt, started a real scene in Limburg with electro, minimal, breakbeats, d&b, jungle, ...
For these parties they invited dj’s like Boys Noize, Diplo, Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig, Feadz, Boris Dlugosh, Dj Hyper, Smos&Baby Bee, Headman/Manhead, Duke Dumont, Dirt Crew, Idjut Boys, Freeform Five, Glimmers, Cj Bolland, Shy Fx, Boys Noize, Kiki, Cajuan, Brodinski, The Subs, Guy J, Boy 8 Bit, The Subs, Les Petits Pilous, ...
These days the party's are still going strong at Ritz Building/Hasselt with guests like Borgore, Danny Byrd, Netsky, Rob Threezy, T99, Boris Dlugosh, Trolley Snatcha, ...
Since 2008 they started organising the Smile parties at Silo. Big party's with guests like Proxy live, Dr.Lektroluv, Trevor Loveys, Sound Of Stereo, Feadz, Bobmo, Diplo, Boy8Bit, ...
They played gigs together with nearly all the international big shot dj's, from minimal to electro to dubstep.
